Abstract:

I de tidiga månaderna av året 2020 så slogs världen av en pandemi i form av den influensaliknande sjukdomen covid-19. Till följd av detta så var ett initialt drag av ledare världen om att uppmuntra befolkningen till att hålla sig hemma i isolering och att undvika kontakt med andra människor. Medan flera länder hade olika versioner på denna lösning så visade sig en bieffekt av detta beslut snabbt. Alla verksamheter som levde på ett beroende av en stadig ström av gäster och återkommande kunder i lokalen började uppleva svårigheter att kunna bibehålla sin tidigare rutin och började blöda ekonomis

Abstract:

Den digitala transformationen av arbetsplatsen har enligt Bartsch et al. (2020) påskyndas av att många verksamheter till följd av Covid-19-pandemin tvingats övergå till distansarbete. Denna transformation har gjort att många ledare som tidigare lett följare ansikte-mot-ansikte (AMA) på ett kontor tvingats övergå till distansledarskap förmedlat via informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT). Både akademiker (Bartsch et al., 2020; Carnevale & Hatak, 2020) och näringslivsidkare (Holmberg & Petrelius, u.å; Deloitte, 2020) menar att övergången till IKT-förmedlat distansledarskap skapar ut

Abstract:

Covid-19 pandemin är den mest omfattande pandemin i modern tid. Länder världen över har infört olika typer av krav och rekommendationer för att hämma smittspridningen, däribland rekommendationer om att bära munskydd. Tidigare studier har utvecklat modeller och system för att avgöra huruvida personer bär munskydd eller ej. Syftet med denna studie är att bevisa att det är tekniskt genomförbart att utveckla och implementera en IT-artefakt på en Google Coral Dev Board som i realtid inte bara kan avgöra om en person bär munskydd eller ej, utan även kan klassificera om ett munskydd bärs korrekt samt

Abstract:

This thesis project explores how interactive technologies can facilitate a sense of social connectedness with others whilst remotely located. While studying the way humans use rituals for emotional management, I focused my interest on the act of commensality because it is one of the oldest and most important rituals used to foster togetherness among families and groups of friends. Dining with people who do not belong to the same household is of course hard during a global pandemic, just like many of the other forms of social interactions that were forcibly replaced by the use of technological

Abstract:

Given the unique nature of crises, a key capability of the crisis response system is to facilitate adaptive response structures in relation to the circumstances of any given crisis. This thesis views the crisis response system as complex adaptive system, in which adaptive response is an emergent phenomenon that occurs through the interactions of crisis response organizations within the crisis response system. Training cooperative capabilities needed to foster adaptive crisis response has proven difficult, as well as reporting learnings from collaborative exercises in a useful manner. Based i

High PM2.5-related mortality and morbidity has become a public health concern in China. To date, there have been few studies investigating individual implementation and use of protective behaviors to counter outdoor PM2.5 air pollution levels in China. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate adults’ attitudes toward evidence-based protective behaviors against outdoor PM2.5 air pollution, the results of which might inform health educators and health promotion specialists about what they should emphasize when educating communities about protective behaviors in the PM2.5 air pollution days.

This dissertation aims to explore the relationship between social support and social and psychological wellbeing in the adult population of sexual and gender minorities, or Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) adults. We apply Antonucci’s (1987) Convoy Model of Social Relations as a lens through which to conceptualize social support across four dimensions: structure, function, quality, and closeness. Chapter One contains an introduction to the LGBT adult population; a description of the Convoy Model of Social Relations and of technology used to exchange social support; and an outline of

Abstract:

Despite decades of research on school effectiveness and improvement, we continue to struggle to support school improvement at scale. I suggest this is in part due to methodological and theoretical limitations of the extant literature: While there is a growing consensus that leaders should “diagnose” school improvement needs to devise contextually appropriate improvement strategies, no empirical guidance exists to support how to make such diagnoses or which strategies to employ given contextual variation. I address this gap through a mixed methods analysis of how schools with varying improvemen

Abstract:

Online teacher professional development (oTPD) has gained momentum globally as a mode of teacher professional development (Dede et al., 2009; Lieberman & Mace, 2010), appealing to teachers who prefer the convenience of online learning and/or the autonomy of self-paced learning. With oTPD gaining traction, especially in this climate of COVID-19 pandemic where many face-to-face interactions have shifted to an online space, there is insufficient research done on teachers’ learning experiences and the type of reflective thinking observed during teachers’ participation in oTPD activities.

Abstract:

Science education has maintained a longstanding goal of enhancing societal interest, values, and understandings of science. Despite a series of public education reforms and efforts by scientific researchers, scientific literacy and passion remain sparse across the American public. In fact, many students demonstrate a lack of interest in the sciences as early as first grade, with major drop-offs occurring by the age of 14. This is further exacerbated for youth of color, as science is deeply rooted in pervasive and institutionalized racism. When accessible, out-of-school science experiences are

This dissertation contributes to the ongoing debate on how educational inputs make a difference and how to allocate them efficiently. Educational inputs could be broadly defined as any personnel inputs such as teachers and career service staff, learning environment that includes peers and school facilities, and policies that facilitate learning. This dissertation explores three topics: peer effects in higher education, the consequences of college expansion, and the impacts of school closures.

In this thesis, we consider improving supply chain and service systems through demand-side management. In Chapters 1 and 2, we focus on a new notion of flexibility that has emerged in e-commerce called consumer flexibility. Motivated by the fact that some customers may willingly provide flexibility on which product or service they receive in exchange for a reward, firms can design flexible options to leverage this consumer flexibility for significant benefit in their operations. In Chapter 1, we consider the context of online retailing where consumer flexibility can be realized through opaqu

Algorithmic management systems organize many different kinds of work across domains, and have increasingly come under academic scrutiny. Under labels including gig work, piecemeal work, and platform labor, these systems have been richly theorized under disciplines including human-computer interaction, sociology, communications, economics, and labor law. When it comes to the relationships between such systems and their workers, current theory frames these interactions on a continuum between organizational control and worker autonomy.
